IkasSasoi: movilizando la comunidad para fomentar la actividad física de la población adolescente de Irun IkasSasoi: mobilizing the community to promote physical activity among teenagers in Irun

2015 
The adolescence is a period of particular interest to promote healthy habits, including regular physical activity. Interventions addressed to this population group have traditionally focused on the area of the school. The knowledge obtained from research in the area of promoting physical activity seems to draw multicomponent strategies as the most appropriate. IkasSasoi is a multicomponent initiative promoted by the City Council of Irun in which various municipal departments and community agents take part and which's aim is to promote physical activity and avoidance of sedentary behavior among adolescents studying ESO in Irun. IkasSasoi includes an initial diagnosis, for which it has been administered a questionnaire on physical activity habits to 1.797 subjects and developed four focus groups. From the information gathered, the working group has validated 23 interventions, 19 of them are underway or already completed. IkasSasoi, has revealed the habits and perceptions of the teenagers and generated a consolidated intersectorial network. The program is placing adolescents on the agenda of local policies related to physical activity. The main areas for improvement relate to missed intervention's deadlines of interventions and the unequal involvement of actors, especially in schools.
